Description

本発明は、機械式時計のための計時器ムーブメントに関し、計時器ムーブメントは、地板上に配置した、共振器機構、及び前記ムーブメント内に備えた駆動手段のトルクを受ける維持機構を備える。   The present invention relates to a timepiece movement for a mechanical timepiece, and the timepiece movement includes a resonator mechanism disposed on a main plate and a maintenance mechanism that receives torque of driving means provided in the movement.

本発明は、少なくとも1つのそのようなムーブメントを含む機械式時計にも関する。   The invention also relates to a mechanical timepiece including at least one such movement.

本発明は、機械式時計の時間基準を生成する共振器機構の分野に関する。   The present invention relates to the field of resonator mechanisms for generating time bases for mechanical watches.

現在の機械式時計の多くは、時計の時間基準を生成するてんぷ/ひげぜんまい型共振器、及び脱進機機構、一般にスイス・レバー脱進機、を含み、脱進機機構は、2つの機能:
共振器の前後運動を維持すること;
こうした前後運動を計数すること
を実行する。
Many of the current mechanical watches include a balance / spring balance generator that generates the time base of the watch, and an escapement mechanism, typically a Swiss lever escapement, which has two functions :
Maintaining the longitudinal motion of the resonator;
Counting these back and forth movements is performed.

脱進機は、強固で、衝撃に耐えなければならず、ムーブメントの詰まり(振り当たり)を回避するように考案されている。   The escapement must be strong and able to withstand impacts and is designed to avoid clogging the movement.

機械式共振器は、少なくとも1つの慣性要素及び1つの弾性戻り要素を組み合わせたものである。ひげぜんまい付きてんぷにおいて、ひげぜんまいは、てんぷによって形成した慣性要素のための弾性戻り要素として作用する。   A mechanical resonator is a combination of at least one inertial element and one elastic return element. In a balance with a hairspring, the hairspring acts as an elastic return element for the inertial element formed by the balance.

てんぷは、従来、平滑ルビー軸受内で回転する枢動部により回転状態で案内される。このことは、摩擦、したがってエネルギー損失及び動作妨害を生じさせるため、摩擦の除去が求められている。この損失は、品質係数、Qにより特徴付けられる。Q値を最大にすることが求められている。   The balance with hairspring is conventionally guided in a rotating state by a pivoting portion that rotates in a smooth ruby bearing. Since this causes friction and thus energy loss and operational disturbance, friction removal is sought. This loss is characterized by a quality factor, Q. There is a need to maximize the Q value.

スイス・レバー脱進機は、エネルギー効率が低い(約30%)。この効率の低さは、脱進機の運動がぎくしゃくとしたものであるという事実、(機械加工誤差に適合しようとして振り切りを起こし)「駄目になる」こと、及び更にはいくつかの構成要素が、傾斜平面を介して構成要素の運動を伝達するため互いに擦れるということによるものである。   The Swiss lever escapement has low energy efficiency (about 30%). This inefficiency is due to the fact that the movement of the escapement is jerky, “wasted” by trying to adapt to machining errors, and even some components This is due to the fact that they rub against each other to transmit the movement of the components through the inclined plane.

共振器の維持機構、特に脱進機機構のぎくしゃくとした動きを除去し、この維持機構の効率を増大させることが本発明の目的である。   It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the jerky movement of the resonator maintenance mechanism, particularly the escapement mechanism, and to increase the efficiency of this maintenance mechanism.

この目的を達成するために、連続的な相互作用を可能にする機構、したがって共振器と維持車セット、特にがんぎ車との間にぎくしゃくとした動きのない機構を提案する。このことを達成するために、共振器は、第2の自由度の使用が可能でなければならず、第2の自由度は、第1の自由度に対し位相がずれている位相である。   To achieve this goal, we propose a mechanism that allows continuous interaction, and thus a mechanism that does not have a jerky movement between the resonator and the maintenance wheel set, in particular the escape wheel. To accomplish this, the resonator must be able to use the second degree of freedom, which is a phase that is out of phase with respect to the first degree of freedom.

したがって、本発明は、機械式時計のための計時器ムーブメントに関し、計時器ムーブメントは、地板上に配置した、2つの自由度を有する共振器機構、及び前記ムーブメント内に備えた駆動手段のトルクを受ける維持機構を備え、前記維持機構は、連続維持機構であり、クランク回転軸周りに移動可能なクランクを含み、クランクは、前記クランク回転軸上に、前記駆動手段のトルクを受け前記クランク回転軸に対し偏心する軸要素、前記共振器機構内に備えた剛性リングの軌道上を進行するように構成したクランクピンを含み、前記剛性リングは、前記2つの自由度で移動可能であることを特徴とする。   Therefore, the present invention relates to a timepiece movement for a mechanical timepiece, and the timepiece movement has a resonator mechanism having two degrees of freedom arranged on a main plate and a torque of a driving means provided in the movement. And a maintenance mechanism that is a continuous maintenance mechanism, and includes a crank that is movable around a crank rotation shaft. The crank receives the torque of the driving means on the crank rotation shaft, and the crank rotation shaft. A crank pin configured to travel on the path of a rigid ring provided in the resonator mechanism, and the rigid ring is movable in the two degrees of freedom. And

図示しない特定の変形形態では、共振器機構100は、リング8を備える慣性要素2を含み、慣性要素は、慣性及び不平衡を調節する慣性ブロックを含む。   In a particular variant, not shown, the resonator mechanism 100 includes an inertial element 2 with a ring 8, which includes an inertial block that adjusts inertia and unbalance.

特定の変形形態では、共振器機構100は、リング8に強固に接続するか又はリング8によって形成した単一の慣性要素2を含む。   In a particular variant, the resonator mechanism 100 comprises a single inertial element 2 that is rigidly connected to or formed by the ring 8.

図7により示す特定の変形形態では、共振器機構100は、2つの慣性要素2A、2Bを含み、慣性要素2A、2Bは、4分の1期間の時間位相偏移を伴って発振し、それぞれ、関係する慣性要素2A、2Bが発振する方向に直交する方向で、リング8に可撓接続している。   In the particular variant illustrated by FIG. 7, the resonator mechanism 100 includes two inertial elements 2A, 2B, which oscillate with a time phase shift of a quarter period, The inertial elements 2A, 2B concerned are flexibly connected to the ring 8 in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the inertial elements 2A, 2B oscillate.

より詳細には、各慣性要素2A、2Bは、交差条片31、32を有する可撓性軸受により地板1に接続しており、交差条片31、32は、関係する慣性要素2A、2Bの慣性中心CIを通過する仮想回転軸を画定する。   More specifically, each inertial element 2A, 2B is connected to the ground plane 1 by a flexible bearing having cross strips 31, 32, which cross strips 31, 32 are connected to the associated inertial elements 2A, 2B. A virtual axis of rotation passing through the center of inertia CI is defined.

一変形形態では、2つの自由度を有する共振器機構100は、可撓性軸受を有する共振器であり、可撓性軸受は、可撓性条片を備え、可撓性条片は、共振器100の少なくとも1つの慣性要素2及び/又はリング8を案内し、この慣性要素2及び/又はこのリング8の弾性戻りを保証するように構成する。   In one variation, the resonator mechanism 100 having two degrees of freedom is a resonator having a flexible bearing, the flexible bearing comprising a flexible strip, the flexible strip being resonant. The at least one inertial element 2 and / or the ring 8 of the vessel 100 are guided and configured to ensure an elastic return of the inertial element 2 and / or the ring 8.

特定の変形形態では、可撓性条片は、「エリンバ」から作製する。   In a particular variation, the flexible strip is made from "Elinger".

特定の変形形態では、可撓性条片は、温度による影響を補償するように酸化シリコンから作製する。   In a particular variation, the flexible strip is made from silicon oxide to compensate for the effects of temperature.

有利には、図面に示すように、弾性戻り手段は、枢動部のない回転可撓性軸受によって形成する。   Advantageously, as shown in the drawing, the elastic return means is formed by a rotary flexible bearing without a pivot.

本発明の特定の実装形態では、弾性戻り手段は一緒に、一体式構成要素を形成する。   In a particular implementation of the invention, the elastic return means together form an integral component.

図面に示す本発明の特定の実施形態では、弾性戻り手段は、2つの条片を有する可撓性軸受を含み、2つの条片は、同じ平面で交差するか、又は条片は、2つの近接する平行な平面に位置し、条片の突出部は、平行な平面で交差する。   In the particular embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, the elastic return means comprises a flexible bearing having two strips, the two strips intersecting in the same plane, or the strips are two Located in adjacent parallel planes, the protrusions of the strips intersect at parallel planes.

2つの条片を有する可撓性軸受のこの変形形態では、2つの条片の実点又は突出する交差点は、有利には、2つの条片の長さの0.12から0.14倍の点に位置し、これらの条片は、60から80度の間に含まれる角度を条片の間に形成する。   In this variant of a flexible bearing with two strips, the real or protruding intersection of the two strips is advantageously between 0.12 and 0.14 times the length of the two strips Located at points, these strips form an angle between the strips that is comprised between 60 and 80 degrees.

図8に示す一変形形態では、維持機構200は、滑り子45を案内するように構成した穴42を有する駆動手段40を含む。この滑り子45は、慣性要素2内に備えた環状軌道250上を転動するように構成し、前記軌道250は、相補形連続駆動手段20を形成する。したがって、滑り子45は、慣性要素への偏心力、及び歳差運動を慣性要素2に付与する傾向があるトルクを付与する。歳差運動とは、コイン若しくは皿のように、トルクのために平らな表面上を回るものであるか、又はジャイロスコープ若しくはこまのようなものである。この場合、連続維持機構は、リング支持環状軌道250から形成し、滑り子45を有する車4によって歳差運動で駆動される慣性要素2と一体であり、滑り子45は、駆動手段300のトルク、特に少なくとも1つの香箱のトルクを受け、車4は、2つの可撓回転の回転軸によって画定した平面に直交する軸周りに回転する。   In one variation shown in FIG. 8, the maintenance mechanism 200 includes drive means 40 having a hole 42 configured to guide the slider 45. The slider 45 is configured to roll on an annular track 250 provided in the inertial element 2, and the track 250 forms the complementary continuous drive means 20. Accordingly, the slider 45 applies an eccentric force to the inertia element and a torque that tends to apply precession to the inertia element 2. Precession is something that turns on a flat surface for torque, like a coin or dish, or something like a gyroscope or top. In this case, the continuous maintenance mechanism is formed from the ring-supporting annular track 250 and is integral with the inertial element 2 driven by precession by the vehicle 4 having the slider 45, and the slider 45 is the torque of the driving means 300. In particular, under the torque of at least one barrel, the wheel 4 rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the two rotational axes of flexible rotation.

本発明は、計時器、特に1つのそのようなムーブメント500を含む機械式時計1000にも関する。   The invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a mechanical timepiece 1000 including one such movement 500.

図10は、実験測定値を図表形式で示すものであり、図表は、横座標上のマイクロNm単位のトルクの関数として、mm単位の振幅A、mW単位の調整出力PR、1日ごとの秒単位の比率M、及び%単位の効率Rを表す。システムは、広範なトルクにわたって機能し、効率は98%に近いことがわかる。この脱進機システムによる損失は、トルクにかなり大規模に依存するが、トルクは、戻りばねの非線形性によって相殺することができる。   FIG. 10 shows the experimental measurements in graphical form, which shows the amplitude A in mm, the adjusted output PR in mW, the seconds per day as a function of the torque in micro Nm on the abscissa. The unit ratio M and the efficiency R in% units are represented. It can be seen that the system works over a wide range of torques and the efficiency is close to 98%. Although the loss due to this escapement system is quite dependent on the torque, the torque can be offset by the non-linearity of the return spring.

要約すると、本発明は、以下の特定の利点を提供する:
−枢動部を可撓性軸受と取り替えることによって、共振器による枢動摩擦をなくし、品質係数の増大を可能にすること;
−連続維持により、維持機構によるぎくしゃくとした動きをなくし、維持機構の効率、特に維持機構が脱進機機構である場合に脱進機の効率の増大を可能にする。
In summary, the present invention provides the following specific advantages:
-By replacing the pivot part with a flexible bearing, eliminating pivoting friction by the resonator and allowing an increase in the quality factor;
-Continuous maintenance eliminates jerky movements by the maintenance mechanism and allows for increased efficiency of the maintenance mechanism, particularly when the maintenance mechanism is an escapement mechanism.
